We all experience those days when we are feeling down and dull. And all we want to do is be happy again. Well that is very simple in a matter of fact , because it is scientifically possible, easy and fast. We just need to know what to do and how to think.
1.Do any kind of sport you like. When you are active, your body secretes hormones like serotonin and dopamine.. that can make you feel better, so you will be less stressed .
2.Write down 3 things you appreciate or feeling happy about (you can do it mentally as well).As you see digging through your life to find what you love and appreciate can also let you remember all the happy moments you've had. And that shall set you in the right mood.
3.Think and plan something you like to do in the future, like for example arrange a trip with your friends, or plan on doing something new and adventures, something you've never done before. This will get you excited about the future.
4.Look back at old photos of you, your family, your grandparents, take a pic of them and send them to your relatives. People are usually happy to look back at old photographs and realize how mush they changed and developed. So above being happy, you are making others happy too.
5.Watch comedy shows (ex: Mr. Bean, Friends...) OK so this will take more than a few minutes, but definitely worth the time. Because ,I don't know about you but this definitely makes me better. Though I wouldn't recommend drama or sad movies, as that's not what we're going for.
6.Listen to music, sing along, dance. If you prefer privacy, do it in your room, close the door and be free.
7.Take a nap. I think that this is a "Refresh" button. Some even refer to it as a mini-vacation. Taking naps can help boost your energy. And when you wake you feel fresh and ready to do things. But some says that it will make you fell worse. Well that depends on you.
8.Play a game. Not video games, just traditional games with people or you can even arrange a football or any match with your neighbors or friends.
9.Buy something you've been wanting to buy. You don't have to spend a ton of money. This may brighten you up a little.
10. Do something for someone special, you can DIY, buy or just simply do something for them. As this simple nice act will bounce back at you. You will be surprised how you'll feel when you make someone smile.
